Cryptotrader hamster earned 30% in three months in a "trading cage"

The owner built a special cage for Mr. Gox (that's the name of the hamster), giving him control of cryptoassets. Tunnels and a running wheel with sensors were installed inside. When the hamster ran inside the wheel, he chose one of 30 cryptoassets. And when he entered one of the tunnels, the selected asset was bought or sold.

For the first time, Mr. Gox began trading cryptocurrency in mid-July this year. Since then, thanks to chaotic trades, he has been able to increase the return on his portfolio by almost 30%
